HALUE AND OWNERSHIP OF LAND.

The fundamental doctrine Of Mr.. George, which
a correspondcnt asks us to state and explain IS
the notion that no man has or can acquire
right to the ownership Of the land. Ills Iheory Is
that the value Of the land is not created by man
labor and therefore cannot be properly appropri-
ated by individuals Tho truth Is that inc pa'c
NJ the value of land which is the result OF mans
labor is infinitely the creator part. and Is aoso-
,utely inseparable from the value. II there ever
was any, existing in the land independently OF
such labor. Name a tract Of ground anywhere
and examine its history closely, and 1t VIII Dc
found that its value has been created by the
building of roads. the creation OF means OF reach-
ing 1t and transporting products from IT, py .he
clearing, fencing and other improvements OF thao
and adjacent lands, by the growth Oh villages
towns and cities moro or less near The land In
question, by the building Of stores and churcnes,
railroads, canals or turnpilSes, and, In word'
by all the progress Of civilization from the earliest
settlement of that region TO this day. AS rule,
the land itself has no value which is not the result
of human industry.
The value thus created must belong to some
body, and be capable Of Transmission from one
person to another This is necessary to the well
fare of civilized society. because the creation OF
such values. by tho improvement Of lands and
the construction Of means Of communication,
would be arrested II the land were not the prop
crty Of individuals. The infinitely larger proper
ton Of value which is created by mans labor
must be individually owned, that being necessary
to the progress of society The Infinitely smaller
proportion not so created, II any such value In q
particular case exists, must therefore be also
indiy idually owned. because its separation from
the other and far greater value is impracticable.
Nor is 1t practicable ever to determine whether
land has or would have had any value apart from
The result of human improvements and human
labo

has labor been so well off as it Is now, and 10
ia better of in tho United States to-day than
in any other country. The American me-
chanio of 1887 has at his command luxurles'
conveniences, comforts which the soverelgns
Of Europe could not procure four hundred
wears ago. If no does not save as largely IN
proportion ii is because civilization enlarges
tho wants Of man and thus renders living
both moro comfortable and more costly. But
for any public speaker or teacher seriously
TO assert that the condition OF labor four
hundred years ago was better than it is now
is nothing less than extravaganza.

an UNFINISHED MEMORIAL

The Cathedral in village has proved a
disappointment to sanguine Episcopalians in
eng Island. Bishop Littlejohn, in his annual
address 10 the Diocesan Convention last week.
admitted regretfully that various branches
of work have been crippled by an inadequate
endowment He described tho Cathedral al
Garden City as rich in everything save what
is most essenial-money; as memorial
grand in outline, but full OF vacant spaces /:
as a magnificent beginning OF noble founda-
ton OF Christian benefioence, but incomplete
those who arc attempting to carry out the
scheme being forced to lingcr in the suspense
Of unfinished hopes. This pathetic account OF
tho unique enterprise on which Episcopalians
havo based high expectations was evidently
designed as an appeal to tho trustee under
the Stewart wills to increase tho endowment
fund and to fill 'thc vacant spaces with a
seminary for young women and other insti-
tutons. The Hon. John A. King, in the
course Of a subsequent tribute to the memory
Of Mrs. Stewart. emphatically asserted that
tho pecuniary embarassments Of tho Cathc-
dral enterprise would be speedily removed In
compliance with her last wishes, and that
Judge Hilton would faithfully discharge tho
great trusts confded to him. Bishop Little
John, who had drawn so gloomy a picture OF
tho memorial OF unrulfiled hopes. then changed
his mood and affirmed that this gratifying
announcement had not been mado without
confident assurances Of the reality OF tho
faith Of tho Diocese.
In view of this interesting byplay at the
Convention it will DO safe to assume that
the trustee under tho Stewart wills has In
formed the corporators that he is prepared and
anxious to complete tho work begun in their
patron,s lifetime. "The Brooklyn Eagle J"
states indeed, on information which 1t con-
siders trustworthy, that Judge Hilton intends
to increase the present endowment, which Is
S15 600. 10 $50. 1000, and to build as a monu
ment to Mrs. Stewart seminary building SUI
perior in all its appointments to any similar
institution in tho United States Whether
tho Diocese in accepting benefactons on
largo scale would render itself liable to be
drawn into litigatons over the Stewart estate
is an interesting question for lawyers. Under
tho will tho trustee Is empowered to build
Iseminary and to make any other additions TO
the educational and religious establishment
at Garden City which he may deem advisable
This indefinite trlst-the expenditure at Judge
ilton's discretion of very largo amount OF
money-is ono Of tho main grounds on which
Mrs. Stewards will is contested by one OF tho
heirs and hence il is not improbable that the
Diocese, in accepting million or more OF the
reserved fund, might find itself in the end
party in action to what promises to be one
of tho celebrated cases in the State courts
That evidently is not one Of tho vacant
spaces" in "mcmorial grand in outline

The damage caused in Michigan by the forest
fires this spring is estimated at 81, OOO,OOO,
large part of which is due 10 the destruction OF
the town of Lake Linden. This is terrible
loss to the State, but there Is really no one to
blame for it except the people of Michigan
themselves. For years they have been cutting
down their pine forests and leaving the ground
strewn for miles with the boughs cut from the
trunks. The result is that the Upper Peninsula
ia nothing more nor less than huge brush
heap, dry as finder, and source OF awful
danger to all new settlements. 1t will remain
so, too, until the Legislature of Michigan eau
devise some remedy. The task is difficult
one, but many millions Of dollars and hundreds
of human lives are at stake.
There seems to be small doubt that NJ.
Rouvier has succeeded in forming a makeshift
Cabinet for France the greater part of the
material in which is O2portunist. Yet
this is a singular fact, for the Opportunists
1t only shows that party defeat goes for little
in France. NJ ROuvier was even In Ganbettas
Cabinet. Indeed all the late ministries IN the
Republic have been largely recruited from the
Gambetta group of STANDARDIZATION is post
norton proof of Gambetta's greatness. But
desplte the makeshifts of NJ. Grevy, the
present situation in France cannot endure long.
There must be an appeal to the electors, and
the result will not be likely to please the
Republicans. The opposition to them was very
strong at the last election, and nothing has
happened since to change public feeling.
Most New orkers know in vague sort of
q way that their town is one of the largest
German cities in the world, but they don't be-
gin to appreciate the fact. Indeed they rarely
think about it at all except on the night OF the
Arion or the Liederkranz balls. Few of them
grasp even then the significance of the names.
They do not understand that the AriOn and the
Liederkranz are two great social clubs which in
many respects surpass all others in New York.
Henceforth there will be no excuse for such
ignorance on the part Of the English speaking
New Yorker for on the sixth page of THE TRIB-
UNE this morning is an interesting article de-
scribing in full these two eminent German
societies. 1t will be noted that the German
likes to enjoy his beer, his music and his family
all together. Possibly that is why German
clubs are popular even among the wives of that
nationality.
